This is your cue to PAUSE YOUR SCROLLING and check-in with yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you feel your BEST, do you have an easier time listening to your body and your needs, naturally? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Usually, when life is smooth and we're feeling a high, it's easy to be loving to ourselves. It's easier to feel happy and confident. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When we're stressed or when life is tough, it's harder to NATURALLY hear what we need and honor those needs - this is not something to feel bad about, it's common. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From the place of overwhelm we tend to over compensate and do a whole bunch of things that are out of alignment with what we actually want. We start to tune OUT. We spend way too much time on Instagram. We over book. We don't slow down. We procrastinate. We push away. The list goes on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This leaves us feeling unsatisfied and constantly searching for better. Relate? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of the best things you can do TODAY, for your relationship with food and with yourself, is to explore your NON-FOOD needs. Feeling overwhelmed? What are you craving more of in your life? Alone time? Girl time? A clean house? A different mindset at work? What do YOU really need right now? Take a second to check-in. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What feelings have you been ignoring that you need the space to feel? What non-food way can you care for yourself today? Do you need to say no to someone or something? Do you need to say YES to something? Do you need more sleep? Do you need a chance to just sit and journal and check-in with yourself? Do you need time for a walk? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Between you and yourself - what do YOU need? Check-in with yourself. You won't regret it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. This is a breakfast I've been loving lately: two slice of brown rice toast with pesto, hummus, sliced boiled egg and Everything But the Bagel seasoning from @traderjoes ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #everythingbutthebagel #traderjoesfinds #intuitiveeating (at San Luis Obispo, California)

RUN - ON SENTENCE, GET READY. It’s my DREAM that we’d ALL find more PERMISSION and TRUST around food so that it would take up LESS space in our minds and we could have CLEAR consciences to focus on the OTHER things we want to give our energy to like our relationships, careers, families, friends, hobbies, etc. You too? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wrote a blog post today sharing how to eat intuitively at a buffet so you can walk away feeling good and not stuffed - we all know the feeling of food coma too well. I expect this post to give you freedom not only when you're eating buffet style, but anytime you're eating out and making choices around food. Check it out - this post was reader requested. Link is in my profile. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While you're here and we're having fun with food - share your favorite pizza toppings with me. This one has pesto, artichoke, bell pepper, goat cheese and arugula. What's your favorite pizza topping combo? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's share them below and read each others ideas - let's make food fun again, together! 💛 #makingfoodfuntogether #intuitiveeating #foodfreedom (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Thanks @kruezbergcalifornia for getting me hooked on veggie stuffed bagels because they're EVERYTHING and last week I made them nearly everyday for lunch. - The way Kruezberg makes it is: a toasted everything bagel, cream cheese, super fresh tomato, cucumber, spring mix and avocado. Seriously, THE BEST. - When I made it at home (in this photo) I used a sprouted grain bagel, @kitehillfoods cream cheese, and all the same veggies. So easy to make at home. So tasty. And it felt great to eat! - The next BAGEL I want to try is one with lox and cream cheese. But I've never tried it! Have you tried it? Do you like it? It's on my list of foods I want to try. Yes I have one of those - ha! - SO TWO THINGS: 1) Have you tried bagel and lox? Is it good? 2) What's your CURRENT favorite thing to make for lunch? I need NEW ideas for next week. - Leave a comment and share your ideas with me - thank you! 💛 #bagelsandwich #intuitiveeating #finallyfreeeats (at San Luis Obispo, California)

I was reading an article last night and one of the pieces of advice was this: Make as many mistakes as possible because it's the only way that you are going to learn. WOAH. And then I remembered a sign we had in our home growing up that said: A person who never makes a mistake is pretty boring. YEP. So make mistakes. Mess up. Learn from them and make new choices moving forward that amount to BETTER for your life - even if those new choices are hard (usually NEW choices are a little bit harder, and that's okay!). Move forward. GROW. Keep going. Don't get down on yourself - mistakes are an AWESOME growth tool. How else will you learn what feels good and what doesn't? Consider it all learning and remember that EVERYONE makes mistakes. Pour on the grace every single day. Be your own best friend and greatest advocate. Yesterday my yogi tea bag said: The path to happiness is self-compassion. Have you ever felt happy from being self-critical? Has it ever amounted to good? Not for me. Today, I choose grace. I choose love. I choose compassion. I choose acceptance. I believe that choosing THESE things is what helps me to grow and be my BEST self. Take care of yourselves, friends. You, your friends, and your family will always ultimately THANK YOU when you're responsible for caring for yourself. Sending you love from Reno - vacation mode, ON! 💛 #gracenotperfection (at Coffeebar Reno)

Can't wait to be enjoying coffee from @hubcoffeeroasters next week when we're in Reno! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today I wanted to celebrate my client @kimschwart16 with all of you, who sent me a halfway check-in this week: "At this half way mark in our program I have already noticed a difference. My mood and outlook on life and situations have gotten so much better. I have started to feel more comfortable around foods that once felt like guilt. I am feeling more comfortable in my skin and confident in my actions and how I chose to live my life. I feel a little lighter on my feet. I have managed to lose 4 pounds just from changing my perspective on food and exercise. Certain things are starting to feel like they aren't a chore anymore or a hassle to me and my daily life. I am finding new joy in reading, cooking, and yoga. Journaling has also helped me to get my feelings out and move on. I am amazed that after just six sessions I feel this way. I was expecting this at the end, not halfway :) I get so much out of our phone calls, each time. Everything we've talked about has made me think more and has given me a better perspective. I appreciate that I keep working on myself to make myself better in so many ways." - KIM S. I share this to celebrate Kim, who I ADORE, and to share what is POSSIBLE FOR YOU (yes, you!). As I always say to myself and my clients "If someone else can do it, you can too." Set aside any limiting beliefs that tell you "you can't" or "you're not good enough" or "they have something you don't have" because it's not true. You've got this too! 💛 #healthcoaching (at Hub Coffee)

QUESTION for YOU to reflect on. In your desire to eat intuitively, when do you feel the most setback and tempted to go back to diet rules? Your setback could be something like: When I feel like I’ve failed. The truth is, with intuitive eating, there’s no such thing as failure. Only feedback. You want to celebrate each moment of listening to your body. Ate what you wanted for breakfast? Felt good afterward? Win. Ate too much? NOT a fail. It’s an opportunity to explore what was going on and to learn from this moment, without judgement. Did you think you’d get more enjoyment out of continuing to eat? Did this end up being true? Where are your setbacks? Where do you need to be EXTRA gentle with yourself? Where do you need to sprinkle a little extra GRACE today? Here’s your PERMISSION to give yourself LOADS of love & grace today ✨ #intuitiveeating (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Something I want to remember every single day to make me appreciate the good. How about you? 💛 (Designed by: @karlyprichard) (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Tap Lauren’s smile twice to help me celebrate her story (below!). So thankful for the relationship we built in our time together 💛 "For as long as I can remember, I’ve been waiting for the next life step to make everything better, to make me happy: college graduation, the first job, the move to a new & exciting city, etc. etc. When these steps didn’t make me instantly happier, I found other ways of coping, including emotional eating. Emotional eating turned into restrictive eating - I can’t buy that food because I’ll eat it all - and the cycle just spun and spun. I finally decided to invest in myself by working with Paige. It was truly the only big 'life step' that has resulted in a positive change in my life & my happiness. Paige helped me to understand that first and foremost, we need to love ourselves now. She taught me how show compassion towards myself by allowing myself to be imperfect and care for myself through dedicated personal time. As women, we spend so much time caring for others, it’s not instinctive to care for ourselves. I re-learned what truly makes me happy and how to prioritize myself over others. Finally, I learned how to listen to my body. Paige is an amazing listener and friend. Every phone call and email is met with true compassion, empathy, and care. One of the best aspects of coaching with Paige is that you never feel like a student or unequal from her. It’s an absolutely amazing feeling to realize that the issues I’ve been having are no different than so many other women - I’m not alone! Paige’s coaching went so far beyond what I expected. I went into the sessions expecting to only talk about emotional eating and how to be an intuitive eater. But Paige is so insightful and always had the right questions to ask which helped me see the little aspects of my life that needed more attention. Those little aspects led to a greater understanding of myself and the true root of my emotional eating. I’m so grateful for Paige and her passion for helping women like me lead healthier lives! I’m finally happy with myself and there’s absolutely nothing that can explain how good that feels." -LAUREN So grateful for ALL of my clients 💛 (at San Luis Obispo, California)

When your office space brings you this much joy you want to work there everyday 🤓 It's the little things like a favorite candle, planner, mousepad (which I know some of you also have!) or note hanging on the wall that make the biggest difference for me. I love the space where I work! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In a recent Discovery Session (you can request one for February using the link in my bio) a client asked me "What are the two biggest determining factors for success for your clients?" Such a good question. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here's what I told her: 1) Be OPEN. Share things with your coach. Celebrate your wins and share your struggles openly. Share your truth and ask your coach for support. 2) BE ALL IN. My clients are usually working with me, to start, for six-months. If you're in a six-month program, give it your all. Let that be season be RICH in growth for you. RECEIVE the support you coach is there to give you. Ask questions. Use your free email support. Journal through the experience. ALLOW YOURSELF TO GROW. Be intentional about your action steps (I set new action steps with my clients every two weeks). Write them down and keep them in front of you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BE ALL IN + BE OPEN. Not just in coaching, but in your life. Show up for yourself. Be intentional. Ask for help. Celebrate your wins - all of them! 💛 (at San Luis Obispo, California)

GOOD-MORNING 🌤 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How are we doing today? How's your heart? What do you need? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This morning I shared a new VIP Q+A post/email on stopping when you're full. If you ever struggle with consistently eating past fullness you know how this feels. While you're doing it, it's almost fun and feels like no big deal. But then afterwards, you're stuffed, and that's pretty much all you remember about your meal - "I'm so fulllll." And after repeated occasions of this it starts to wear on you "Why do I keep doing this?" First of all, there's NO SHAME. It's understandable that when something tastes good (or REALLY good) that we'd want to continue enjoying it. However, I also know first hand 🙋🏼‍♀️ how it feels to be in a season of continuously overeating. It, mentally, doesn't feel great. And it sorta sits in the back of your mind as this THING that you're struggling with but aren't really sure how to stop. It just subtly continues to repeat itself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ SO TODAY'S BLOG POST is all about how to stop when you're full and the 3 steps that will REMOVE the obstacles that may be making this feel hard to do. When we make it easier on ourselves, it becomes MUCH less of a fight. And we don't want to fight with food. We want to enjoy it and feel calm around it. Am I right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me know what you think of the post. You can find the link in my profile or in your inbox if you're signed up for emails from me (if you're not, and you want to be, click the link in my profile to grab my free 1-day intuitive eating guide).

Do certain foods remind you of certain things in your life? Like road tripping? That's what In-N-Out does for me (see those animal style fries? Yeahhh you do!). I can't wait to hit the road a couple weeks from now as M & I venture back out toward Tahoe/Reno. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's been an awesome past couple of months being HOME and having time to rest, work from my office 🤓👩🏼‍💻, and see friends, AND I'm ready for a little adventure time (and snow! ❄️) with my guy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today has been an unexpectedly busy day! I didn't think I had THAT much to do and all of the sudden the day filled with meetings, which were wonderful - so I'm not complaining! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I now have no coaching spaces left for January and just one coaching space left for February (you gals are on fire this year! 💁🏼‍♀️) before I start booking March clients. If you're interested in one of these spaces, or you want to ask how this process goes starting a month out (free courses while you wait!), just ask. You can email me at [email protected] to inquire and ask any questions. I don't bite, promise 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To end, I want to share this sweet story that a grad-client sent me today that made me smile SO big for her 💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ " I thought of you as I was really diving into some major self care tonight. I had a rough day and just felt so defeated. Tonight I filled up a nice epsom salt bath, lit a few candles, put on a face mask, and caught up on the most recent episode of the Bachelor. It was SO REJUVENATING. I could just as easily have parked myself on the couch to watch my show and stress eat, but I didn’t! Ah, it feels so good! " ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS, sorry for posting this pic to everyone who doesn't have access to an In-N-Out #donthateme #justcomevisit (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Sometimes you have to set your fear aside and just do it anyway. Take steps toward that incredible thing you want. That thing you really want to do and you see other people doing but that feels out of reach for you. IT'S NOT. If it's possible for someone else, it's possible for you. Just start walking. And every time that fear comes up, set it back down. Gently. "Fear, I know you're trying to keep me safe here... but the truth is, I am safe. So I'm going to set you back down, and keep moving. You're gonna have to trust ME here." 💛 What is it you're wanting to walk toward right now? (at San Luis Obispo, California)

👋🏻 Hey everyone. It’s been a little while since I told you what I'm here for. I spent 7 years of my life dieting. I remember sitting in my counselors office one winter day, again, struggling to love my body, let go of guilt, and put the diets behind. I expressed to my counselor in those hours that I was afraid to give up the hope that came from dieting for a better, more thin, slender body. I didn’t want to give up the chance of having that. But, what would being thin actually mean? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She helped me to see the answer in her office that day: I could be striving for the ultimate thinness well into my 50’s & 60’s, and if I didn’t deal with accepting myself NOW, I’d be in the same spot later. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My counselor shared that age doesn’t make a difference in how you feel about your body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In fact, it only gets harder if you don’t choose to deal with your beliefs now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This was a hard but powerful truth, and it saved me. It was the day I decided to make a change. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Imagine you’re at your 80th Birthday party. All your friends are there, having a great time. You’re reminiscing over the years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s time for cake! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When someone brings your your slice of cake… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What will you do? What will you think? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Will you look back at all of your years and feel a warming, deep sense of appreciation, thanking yourself for giving up diets/restriction when you were young, and loving your body the whole way through? Will you smile, with comfort in your heart & that ultimate, ultimate feeling of joy, knowing that you lived a life of freedom, pleasure, and kindness? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Or, will you look at the cake, still in fear? Will you sit there wondering, after all of the years that passed, how it is that you still never said yes to living in absolute freedom, and having a friendship with yourself/your body? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Girl… we’re not getting any younger. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to spend my years worrying about food, feeling distracted by thoughts of what I ate, how much I ate, and how it’s going to affect me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I want to live a life of freedom & joy and help you do the same 💛 (at San Luis Obispo, California)
